How is a skatepark built? Once the advocates get approval from the city...it's time to dig in. From the early design work to a wide variety of concrete jobs, building a skatepark takes a team.
Im proud to say that i was on the construction site of the biggest skatepark in the middle east, Aljada skatepark in UAE which is holding the world championships this weekend and the next one. I saw it get built from the ground up and testing it before anyone when me and our group climbed into it
so cool how they actually seem to enjoy and love building these parks and making sure they’re great quality i mean i get its their job but some of them who domt even skate seem passionate
Oh yeah! The one with the lil bumb in front of the quarter. That's a fun little park. That's one we hit up when doing a SD park day tour. Kinda out of the way but fun. 👍
Does anyone know why they don’t get any notifications when ride posts videos? The CZcams algorithm is trash now I forget I’m even subscribed to half of the channels I used to watch religiously
I've been waiting for a skate channel to make a video about skatepark construction. I was hoping it what going to be made in a similar style to the always great "how to make a DIY skate obstacle" videos that Independent Trucks makes. This one was informative but very corny- it did not feel like it was produced by skaters. Is the Ride channel hiring non-skate production companies to create their content now?
It would be cool to see a mini series on how parks get built. From the idea phase to funding to design, then permits, construction, and a final episode of skating the park.
I get your point but we are working directly with the concrete industry on these videos and we feel the need to give them something polished as it's not just being seen by skaters. Re park series...you might check with The Skatepark Project. I know they had this in mind. Not sure if they've done it yet.
Please make skateparks as good as Vans HB 2023 or Burnside 1996. Flow, visibility, for of traffic and amazing obstacles. If the skatepark can't create a 'Tony Hawk' because of lack of big vert flat walls, then it won't make a Tony Hawk. Most modern skateparks are a mistake.
Dear cement skatepark builders. Please stop making all the transitions the same radius as the height. A 4' quarter pipe should not have a 4' transition. I understand it makes sense to have a tighter radius/transition for a pool or anything that might go to vert. However, not everyone likes the tight fall to flat if you bail transitions, especially on cement. Some of the 2-3' quarter pipe transitions at my local park are so tight you can't even rock to fakie cause your tail is hitting flat when the board is on the coping...there is literally no transition to ride back in on. Can't we have a little variety?
This is a skatepark design (not build) issue and all public parks now a days are open to design input from the local community. Speak up at the right place and you should be able to make those changes.
We need some electric skateboard parks. They would need to be built differently, for the most part. Level ground. Think of a speedway like Sebring (twists and turns) or Monaco (twists/turns/hills) but at a much smaller scale. This would be fun for a much larger group of people because not everyone is willing to drop in on a half pipe. I skated a lot when younger, and on some "el cheapo" backyard ramps, but wouldn't drop in on a real half pipe. Not many people learn how and for me, my first led to the hospital with broken arm. Any younger aged person can do electric skateboarding, and many older people too. And have a lift to ride back up the hill relatively quickly, even if it's just a "leash/handle" you grab onto (instead of a full cart you sit in). Another idea I have is for non-electric downhill skateboarding. I don't know - maybe it exists, but I really see it anywhere. Lots of winds. Plenty of places even in FL for stuff like this, in hill areas of the center of the state, or up near tallahasse. There's lots of hills in FL west of center and more northerly. Just like a concrete sidewalk, but some curvature to it on the turns. Would need some backing on the turns. Not too hard though... Hell, they could have some real fun slip and slides down the hills, but nobody does...
oh hush up about "creativity", skaters are not that creative and skating is not about creativity, especially not in a skatepark. Skating is about having fun, improving your own abilities, tapping into untapped potential, the learning process, and the satisfaction of landing a trick. The fact that you find some skaters "creative" is more a testament to how low your bar for creativity is than it is the actual creativity of the skater
@@lamambas9390 no I'm just telling it like it is. Yes there is of course some creative aspects to skateboarding but it's so overblown. Skateboarding is much more a discipline like a martial art or yoga where it's about improving one self and becoming in touch with your mind spirit and body. I started skating when i was 29 years old, i never had any thoughts or cares about going pro
@@justinmusicandskateboardin9282 there is a lot of space for creativity in skateboarding what you can check out new school skateboarders like ellis frost who keep innovating within the sphere
This needs a multi part series with coping installation and more fine details. Seems like a PSA ad for concrete industry. Ha I did learn some cool things about the mix and 90 min time window. Keep it up! 🛹🙌🏽
Yeah a more detailed multi-part series would be fun. And if the concrete industry wants to support a series like that with a CTA and some logos, were all for it.
This makes me even more grateful for my local park; I really appreciate all the people who worked hard to bring me an awesome park that I enjoy often!

seeing a ride channel notification gave me a wave of nostalgia
Awesome video. The skateparks are well thought out and designed.
thanks for all the great stuff you guys have posted over the years
so cool how they actually seem to enjoy and love building these parks and making sure they’re great quality i mean i get its their job but some of them who domt even skate seem passionate
started tripping when I realized a lot of this footage was video of my local being constructed. Thanks for sharing... 760 baby
Brea!?!?
@@TheVesparider76 Washington Park skate spot in Escondido CA. tiny gem IMO, the city needs more.
Oh yeah! The one with the lil bumb in front of the quarter. That's a fun little park. That's one we hit up when doing a SD park day tour. Kinda out of the way but fun. 👍
Brea and Washington construction plus a few other local park overviews.
awesome edit
I skate often and do stucco work and holy i hsve to say the finishers that smooth out that park are an elite group
I wish our local parks were made with such attention to detail and care lol.
Great video.
Im seriously going to apply than...
Now go watch a DIY skate spot video and see how cheap and easy it is to build a quarter pipe from concrete.
Ayy thanx. Cool!
:o ty for the heart yo! 💚
Ride channel is back?!?!
This was really cool! Thanks guys!
Back in the 80's we had malls and abandoned pools LOL met other skaters by skating the city or shops
people use skate parks so much! there should be one in every town!
more than one if there's enough demand.
Man they are building parks EVERYWHERE now. Where I am they probably built 10 new parks in the past 5 years within an hour from me
and bikes are still not allowed (even when they have plastic pegs, pedals etc). guess it wasn't about getting concreted chipped up after all!
@bookface451 the only one I know that doesn't allow bikes is Lakeland. Everywhere else doesn't seem to care from my experience
Wish I had a park. All I got is a rocky parking lot and a coke can to grind.
Get some friends together, get organized, contact The Skatepark Project and make it happen.
I don't have any friends will you be my friend ?
Job core called
I want a skatepark in my backyard
Shredcards?
This video felt like it was sponsored by Home Depot
We wish Home Depot cared more about skateparks.
I want it in Thailand
"cubic yards" 💀💀💀💀
Where is nuzzi?

Just go to Woodward and learn to skate from some experts.
Ride still around
Still around. Just way less active. We'll have a bunch of vidoes this summer to support our vert contest series Vert Alert.
